3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe I had one relative who passed away but fortunately none others. So my sort of experience of it is quite limited, thankfully.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe My dad’s got a brilliant eye for scripts ‘cos he’s a literary agent. He and my agent read a load of scripts and filter them.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe I’ve never been one of the cool people at school, but then again, I don’t get the people who are cool. It’s not that I don’t like them, it’s just that they don’t interest me.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe I was in the bath at the time, and my dad came running in and said, ‘Guess who they want to play Harry Potter!?’ and I started to cry. It was probably the best moment of my life.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe I like science and I love gym. Oh, and I like art, but I’m really bad at it. I’m just a terrible drawer. I can’t draw a circle. Even with a ruler, I can’t draw a straight line.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe England is my home. London is my home. New York feels like, if I have to spend a year living in an unfamiliar city, this is a pretty lovely one to spend a year in, but I will be going home at the end of it, certainly.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe I’m an atheist, but I’m very relaxed about it. I don’t preach my atheism, but I have a huge amount of respect for people like Richard Dawkins who do.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe I don’t know why that is, but English politics is just so overly white. It’s very much about the class structure.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe I mean I’ve seen 3D films so far and I think it’s a long way to go before they replace actors. It’s a funny thing with 3D, I haven’t quite got it yet. Yet.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe I’m very interested in religion as something to study, but I’m not a religious person in the slightest.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe If I was left to my own devices, you would see about ten T-shirts in rotation with maybe a few nice pairs of jeans – but I also like to look good. I like feeling really well put together, I just don’t have the aptitude and the knowledge to do that.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe There were a few years there when I was just so enamored with the idea of living some sort of famous person’s lifestyle that really isn’t suited to me.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe I’ve always thought that as long as directors and casting directors don’t see me as just Harry Potter, I’ll be OK. People have shown a lot of faith in me, and I owe them a huge debt. They’re letting me prove that I’m serious about this.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe The best thing I’ve learned is, if you’re going out, never go out alone – you leave yourself vulnerable. If you’ve got someone else there you trust, they can say, be wary of that person. I probably used to be too trusting of people.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe My parents were what I like to call proper musical fans. Lots of Sondheim was played in the car.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe I would love to work in America. I wouldn’t love to live there, but I’d love to experience working there.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe I think it’s useful, as a famous person, to have as little separation between the perception of you and how you really are – because otherwise I’d be sitting here thinking I’m keeping secrets, and wondering when you’re going to find out.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe People who have car collections – I never understood that. I always thought that was unnecessary. It’s not beautiful, it’s not creative. It’s just showing how much money you’ve got.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe I’m not a religious person. My mom was of Jewish blood and my dad was Protestant.

3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe I met Elijah Wood once, I met Peter Jackson, I met Orlando Bloom, and they’re all really cool.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe The nerds are the ones that make the films and do loads of other really cool stuff in their life.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe The art world can be very intimidating because it’s just so vast. You talk to people who are really clued in to all the young artists and coming into it you’re never going to be able to catch up immediately, even though there’s pressure to.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe It’s interesting because people assume that because I’m famous I know all famous people.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe Ironing boards are a classic example of something I find horrible about modern society: the excitementation, for want of a better word, of mundane things.
